:huh: If no one has noticed Flight School replaced the swings that spun around beside Top Gun and Action F/X Theatre. The area looks like it a landing area of some kind. I have no idea what you're supposed to be doing there. Is it Bungi-like spinning around? I have no idea since the attraction is never operating when I go by there. Can anyone let me know what exactly it is?

They removed it towards the end of the season last year. It is now a vacant area.

The swings were nowhere near the Saturator. They took out Blackbeard's Revenge for the Saturator. They took out the swings and sent them to PGA.

Seems like PGA and Carowinds are always swapping. They get our swings. We get their Vekoma flyer and GM. They can keep the Grizzly over there.

The swings are apparently not at PGA right now either. The people over there say that the park completely removed them during the off season, but I think they'll probably re-surface when PGA opens for 2004.

Can someone tell exactly what Flight School was? :unsure:

I think it was something about jumping off a trampoline with bungi cords horizontally... I only saw it open once, but nobody was riding it and nobody anywhere near the thing was giving it a bit of attention...what a stupid thing to pay an extra fee for... :lol:
